    Shine isn’t dark. But it feels like an exercise in avoidance as if Wale took the advice to ease up too far.

    Sounding revitalized, projecting a mix of gratitude and disgust, Wale breathes new life into an old breakbeat (and a sample from Marvin Gaye's version of "I Wanna Be Where You Are") for a defiantly proud pro-black finale. It should be enough to retain the listeners who strongly prefer the more lyrical, less hedonistic aspects of the Wale discography.

    There is a lack of uniqueness in the overall concepts and sonics of the project.
